Since commit:
6eb6c80187c55b7f ("arm64: kernel thread don't need to save fpsimd context.")
... we skip saving the fpsimd state for kernel threads in
arch_dup_task_struct(). We determine whether current is a kthread by
looking at current->mm.
In general, a non-NULL current->mm doesn't imply that current is a
kthread, as kthreads can install an mm via use_mm(), and so it's
preferable to use is_kthread() to determine whether a thread is a
kthread.
For consistency, let's use is_kthread() here.
